Botanic Gardens, Marble Lions

This is one of two sculpted lions, in white Italian marble, located in the Botanic Gardens. They were originally part of the layout of the Garden Palace grounds and installed around 1882. They were removed during the construction of the Cahill Expressway and put in storage for decades. They were reinstalled on concrete footings in the Garden Palace grounds in 1994, on the northern side of the Rose Garden, with the Conservatorium of Music behind them.
